SATHEE: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure - Result Question 64

####65. In $B r F_{3}$ molecule, the lone pairs occupy equatorial positions to minimize

(a) lone pair - bond pair repulsion only

(b) bond pair - bond pair repulsion only

(d) lone pair - lone pair repulsion only

Show Answer

Solution:

$90^{\circ} l p - l p$

repulsion 0

$90^{\circ} l p - b p$

repulsion 4

$90^{\circ} b p - b p$

repulsion 2

The first structure is minimizing the $l p - l p$ repulsion if we compare it with III. The same is minimizing the $l p - b p$ repulsions if we compare it with II. Also it can be noted that, I structure is not minimizing the $b p - b p$ repulsions.
